The Brighter Side of a Horrible Airplane Accident

Picture this. You’re sitting on an airplane in the middle of Africa descending for landing into the city you live. Next thing you know, the plane is lying on the ground, snapped in half, and you don’t quite know what the heck is going on. You stumble out of the airplane where mass chaos ensues. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Absolutely.

So what’s the “brighter side” here? Well, besides that fact that you’re still alive, you also just happened to crash into your front yard. Sweet, no need for a cab to take you home!

Your skepticism is understandable, but I assure you, the story is true. If you notice on the truck and house in the background, there is a red logo. That’s the logo of the NGO I worked for at the time and those were my house and my car. Guess it would be hard to verify my seat on the plane, but whatever. The real bright side of the crash was all the attention I got afterward.
